The weather was capricious at the end of summer, with the sun shining brightly at noon, and in the blink of an eye, it was overcast and raining heavily. In the mist, the Biwa Corridor of Yuntai Palace seems to be shrouded in a misty light veil, looking like Penglai Immortal Pavilion from a distance, heaven and earth, ethereal and illusory.

Wei Nong sat under the porch to read a book, in the lotus pond beside him, the fresh fragrance of flowers was poured out by the water vapor, and the sound of rain in his ears was so pleasant.

As she was reading hard, there was a sudden dark shadow on the page, and her light was blocked. When I raised my eyes, I saw Chu Li standing in front of me, looking down at her: "Sitting here and reading, I'm not afraid of falling into the lotus pond." ”

Wei Nong hurriedly got up and saluted, and said with a smile: "With my skills, it's not enough, right?" ”

Chu Li also laughed, and asked her in a shallow voice: "I see that you have been studying hard recently, and you have lost all your riding and archery skills." ”

Wei Nong bit his lower lip and said truthfully: "I'd better learn it first!" ”

"Take care of one and lose the other." Chu Li sighed with a smile: "I only know how to read, and my body can't stand it, so I have to grasp the measure." ”

"Your Highness Xie cares." Wei Nong was a little curious, I don't know how he had the time to chat with her today.

Chu Li looked at the lotus pond from a distance, and didn't know what he was looking at, so he asked lightly for a while: "I've always heard that your Emei thorn is good, but I haven't seen it yet." ”

Hearing these three words, Wei Min's eyes darkened, but he soon smiled again: "I haven't practiced for a long time, and my hands are raw." ”

Chu Li retracted his gaze and turned his eyes to look at her, still with an indifferent face: "The last time you hunted, you used arrows to shoot at the target, and I knew that Emei was very good at stabbing you." Mind letting me enjoy it? ”

Slightly confused, he glanced at him: "Could it be that His Highness wants to 'advise' again?" ”

Chu Li smiled again: "I don't have much research on Emei thorns. ”

As the two spoke, the rain gradually stopped. The summer rains are always short and swift, and the sun is already shining as soon as the rain stops. The water surface of the lotus pond is like a mirror, refracting a ray of golden light, which is a little dazzling and painful.

Wei Nong has never known how to refuse Chu Li, not to mention that this is a trivial matter. She narrowed her eyes and looked at the clear blue sky, and said with a smile: "It's refreshing after the rain, just right for practicing your hands." ”

The last time she hunted, she went to the building office to choose a bow, and she happened to choose a pair of Emei thorns. So he went back and changed into a fiery red dress with narrow sleeves, tied his hair in a bun, and came to the vestibule with Emei thorns.

Chu Li was already waiting here.

Wei Nong was a little surprised, because many guards were watching, but under Chu Li's attention and encouragement, she still took a deep breath, abandoned distracting thoughts and showed her figure, and did not forget to smile: "It's ugly, Your Highness is laughing." ”

As soon as the word "laugh" was finished, her wrist and jade fingers began to rotate slowly, and the Emei thorn flowed with the ghostly light. Her flexible waist leaned back slightly, and her feet were slightly tiptoeing like flowers and willows, but in the blink of an eye, she was already three turns, like a dragon breaking through the waves, and like a shocking wave.

When she was falling, she looked forward to it, and when she looked back, the breeze brought up by the hem of her skirt when she turned around, and the fragrance after the rain was sandwiched in it, lingering and returning, which can make people's hearts stir. In particular, she still has a smile on her face, as if this is not a martial arts performance, but a heroic solo dance. The gestures are light, the hands can give birth to flowers, the steps can drag lotus, and the Yinhua of the Emei thorn is extremely dazzling under the bright sun.

The guards were all dumbfounded, and no one thought that the crown princess would have such a stunt. The witch Luo Shen was ashamed of the romance, and the moon palace Chang'e lost her heroic posture, which was a kind of throbbing that could only be watched from a distance and could not be blasphemed, as if she had any charming thoughts, it would be an insult and blasphemy to the princess.

During this period, Chu Li has been watching quietly, his eyes are very focused and very light, like the ripples on the Jade Lake, and if he wants to investigate deeply, the ripples have turned invisible.

Wei Nong has been engrossed all the time, without the slightest distraction, as if this Emei thorn has become one with her. After finishing a set of moves, and landing lightly, she looked at Chu Li and asked with a soft smile, "How?" Does Your Highness have any advice? ”

To be able to ask like this, she is actually a little confident. The first time Nie Xingji saw her try the Emei Thorn, his eyes were not gone for a long time, if he really wanted to say it, she and Nie Xingji were also in love because of the Emei Thorn.

Nie Xingji...... It's him again!

Wei Nong hurriedly waved away his thoughts, expecting Chu Li to be able to evaluate it, but he just smiled faintly and said, "This is the real you." After that, there was no follow-up.

Wei Nong was naturally unwilling, and hurriedly asked: "That's it?" Nothing else? ”

Chu Li smiled and commented slowly: "Very aura." ”

This was not originally a very high evaluation, at least not a compliment that I had heard before. But who is Chu Li? To be able to get him to evaluate these four words, Wei Nong was really very content, and he just jumped up with joy.

But as soon as people are happy, it is easy to lose their consideration, and Wei Nong blurted out without thinking: "Your Highness, otherwise you will also come to Duan Jinghong Sword?" ”

As soon as she spoke, she suddenly realized that Chu Li had been injured on the night of the Shangyuan Festival, not to mention whether her body had fully recovered, her right hand had been ......

Although Chu Li has always been good at using her left hand, once when she shared dinner, she clearly saw him trying to hold the chopstick with his right hand, but his hand kept shaking, and finally he gave up.

When she saw this scene, she felt sad, but she could only pretend not to see it on her face. and the bear he gave her "Xiangrui", and later she also heard the inside story, it was he who rode a horse in the paddock to shoot hunting, but an arrow missed, and Xiangrui left a life.

Thinking of his "arrow piercing the heart" when he shot the target in the past, he said "I can't bear to do it" when he sent Xiangrui, and he was also a bitter sigh. No matter how outstanding Chu Li is, he can't escape the characteristics of all men - to be strong.

And Chu Li, who is so strong, can't even shoot a young bear accurately, and she actually offered to let him dance the sword! And it's a soft sword with extremely difficult power to control! Thrilling Sword!

Wei Thick can't wait to slap himself in the mouth.

Fortunately, she immediately found a step down, fanned the wind with her hand, and said with a smile: "Ah! I thought it would be cooler in the next rain, but why do I still feel hot! It's too sunny, but it's still cool in the house. Let's go inside! ”

But at the same time as she said this, Chu Li's voice also sounded: "The Thrilling Sword is in the study, you go and get it!" ”

Chu Li said indifferently, with a slight smile on his face, as if it was just an inconsequential matter. Wei Nong looked at the guards around her, and decided to pretend that she didn't hear it, and she continued to act: "Well, that's right! The book I just read is very obscure, and there is something unclear, is Your Highness empty? Can you clear my mind? ”

"There's no hurry." Chu Li said calmly: "Ji Yue is serving in the study, she will hand over the Shocking Sword to you." ”

Seeing that he was so persistent, Wei Nong had to respond in a low voice and ran to the study in person.

Chu Li's study is in the southeast corner of Yuntai Palace, where a nine-curved corridor was specially built to separate the study from the vestibule, and the bamboo sea on both sides of the corridor is stacked with green, which seems extremely quiet and secluded. After the rain, the bamboo breeze is slightly cool, the zhulan is slightly wet, and the slight thickness has not yet reached the arch of the study, but I already feel that the breath is refreshing, the heart and lungs are moist, and the dust of the world is cleansed.

As Chu Li said, Ji Yue was sorting out the books in the study, and she was inevitably a little surprised to see Wei Nong coming over in person. But for a moment, she had already stepped forward and saluted: "The slave has seen the crown princess." ”

Wei Nong coughed lightly: "Well, Your Highness said, let you bring me the Shocking Sword." ”

Ji Yue did not have the slightest doubt, and replied: "The sword is in the inner room, please wait." With that, he lifted up the beaded curtain and went into the inner room alone.

This was the first time Wei Nong came to Chu Li's study, so he couldn't help but look around. The layout is simple, with bookcases, bookcases, reclining chairs, round tables, and Bogu shelves...... There is also a chess case in the southwest direction, on which the black and white pieces are staggered and horizontal, and it is an unfinished game of chess.

At first glance, the study looks unpretentious, but if you look closely, you can see the subtlety. For example, the display of treasures on the Bogu shelf; the inkstone box on the bookcase with gilt hairpins; The tea cups on the table are all made of jadeite; Even the black and white pieces on the chess table are made of black jade and white jade, and the whole body is flawless.

A study reflects the owner's simple taste and strict attention to detail.

Chu Li, Chu Li, how could she think that he was a "celestial" before? What celestial person would be so picky and know how to enjoy wealth so well?

Wei Nong smiled, and turned to look at the bookcase, wanting to see what books Chu Li, a person who was rich and rich, read on weekdays. She walked a few steps closer and found that there were very few books on the bookcase, and then she remembered that there was a Tianlu Pavilion in the Chu Palace, and a large number of classics and unique books were treasured there.

On Chu Li's bookcase, most of them are tied scrolls, which look more like calligraphy and paintings. Although Wei Nong wanted to observe and observe, after all, he didn't get Chu Li's permission, and he didn't dare to move. She swept her eyes slightly, and saw that on the top shelf, there was a scroll that was not tied properly, and the straps were scattered, revealing a corner of the calligraphy and painting.

Wei Nong stood on tiptoe and reached out to tie the scroll, but the shelf was too high, and by accident, the scroll fell down with a "bang" and was completely spread on the ground.

Mo Xiang rushed in at the right time, and when she looked down slightly, she saw that the painting was a woman in red leading a white horse, with delicate eyebrows and a clever smile, it was herself!

This discovery surprised Wei Nong, she quickly squatted down to take a closer look, yes, the person in the painting is indeed her! But there is no background in the painting, and it is all white, and I can't see what the place is.

Is it in Fangzhou? Or in the Yanwang Palace? Is it in the Akiyama paddock? But on the day she and Chu Li hunted, they weren't wearing red clothes!

Moreover, there are obvious creases on this scroll, which is old, not like a recent painting. Wei Nong tried to look for clues in the painting, but unfortunately there was nothing, it was more like an unfinished work, without half an inscription and without any seals.

Weinong doesn't know how to draw, she can't see good or bad, but she can understand herself. She is smiling and seemingly carefree, and if it weren't for the artist's skill, she would never have been able to paint so beautifully.

Was this her before the age of sixteen?
